Mumsnet offline tonight for around 30 minutes at around 11.30

Mumsnet will be offline tonight (Monday 7th December) for around 30 minutes. This is to allow us to perform a major hardware upgrade. I can't tell you the exact time yet, but it will likely be around 11:30pm.

If all goes well you shouldn't notice any differences once it is back online - it should be noticeably faster during subsequent busy periods but that probably won't be appreciable at around midnight when things are getting quieter anyway. If anything does seem amiss then please do post on this thread.

Anybody that wants to know the very second that it is back online can add "[email protected]" on MSN for an instant message.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Sorry, emoticons are not my department. I expect they'll be along in a week or two...

We agreed next monday for santa hats folks didn't we?

Haven't done the upgrade yet. This evening's problems were unrelated and hopefully are sorted now.

Still on target for later.

And I ain't scared of nobody. Apart from...

Am getting bored waiting for 11:30. Anyone actually mind if I do it now?

Of course, what I ought to do is not post it on this page, but on every page. Now that will do it...

Nah, soz Wilf. Can you imagine the utter mayhem that would ensue if we allowed embedding on posts?

Meanwhile, you've got 16 minutes of bollocks left. I think I shall not post a video about that though.

Yes. Exactly not like those.

At least this is cleaner than the melon thread.

Gawn Slur, tell us your story... but do it quick, you've only got 10 minutes.

I see
Some of us are working and you're the chairman of the board?

YetMoreTech · 07/12/2009 23:26

Sorry O! At least you can stop working in 4 minutes because they'll be nothing for you to work on.

OliviaMumsnet · 07/12/2009 23:31

LOL! You are forgiven because your earlier email made me PMSL

Right, you're all living on borrowed time.

Am doing preparation which might make things slow for a bit, then it will all disappear in a puff of smoke. Hopefully we'll be back soon after...

Just to spook you even more, it's actually started. However, have come up with a cunning plan (careful typing there) which allows everything to carry on as normal for a bit whilst some of the stuff happens...

Am doing an A to Z operation (no, not sellotaping back in the page on which I live - hmmm, they should do A to Z's that have special strengthening on that page, since it's always first to go) and it's currently on S...

MNHQ

YetMoreTech · 07/12/2009 23:47

Oh bugger. Just realised it's an A to Z thing, and I am indeed on S (or T, now), but what I didn't previously realise is that it does A to Z (upper case) and then does a to z (lower case) as well. So we're not even half way yet...

Yes yes, it already has a tail!

Silly? My tail or Butterball's willy?

Right, am shutting down now, and if you don't like it, blame Boys...

Don't worry about the Active list - it'll sort itself out once you've made 100 witty and informative posts post upgrade.

And as for DifferentID, "geared up to go to bed" and "disappointment" are things I hear in the same sentence all too often...
